Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten on a wall in the mist this morning. The wall is mossy with dandelions growing on it.

View from the bridge in Eaton park over the pond, towards the bandstand and rotunda. Its misty, damp snd peaceful.

Misty monday morning miles. Little bit further than the physio said 😬 but only by a km... nice and easy. So so grateful to be out and enjoying the early morning peace. This week is a tough one, so its needed. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #keepgoing

Eaton park. View from the top of the pond by the bandstand, looking left over the tennis courts. It was misty and quiet.

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten on the rotunda by the pond at Eaton park. Hedge, tees and tennis courts in background.

And we go again. 6 wks off for a stress reaction. Slowly we can start to build. Very gentle 5km, my asthma is being a pita, but oh the joy from getting out. If anybody sees me running everyday please slap me #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #returnfrominjury #keepgoing

Legorunbuddy on my walk home. I am holding her up between thumb and forefinger. Its still dark. I am stood at a roundabout, you can see car headlights and on the other side of roundabout a big M lit up for the McDonald's drive through.

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten stood on some barriers around the roadworks. They are stood on red plastic fencing and behind a wire fence around the equipment, a road roller and digger. Its dark you can see streetlights in distance.

Forgot to post yesterday, it was a rest day easy 20 minutes. This morning was a bit of an icy 9km. Then I resisted the urge to buy an egg mcmuffin on my walk home. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #morningmiles #humpday #keepgoing

Lego and legorunkitten sat on fence overlooking the broad at Whittlingham.

Hern! There were another 2 just standing nearby but then one flew away. In background a bench, the Heron is standing on grass by the footpath that goes round the broad.

View from our swim spot.

From the top end of the broad.

2 runs & a swim. Very cold, very needed. #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #wildswim #swimwunwim #keepgoing

Morning sky purple and blue sunrise. Trees lining the empty road.

A massive inflatable grinch outside someone's house.

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten on wall of boating lake at Eaton park. Its dark you cant see much, some light reflecting off the water.

The view of the boating lake, but windy today so not so still but still a reflection.

The view over the boating lake at Eaton park. Not quite as still this morning as it is windy but always beautiful. Love the lights reflecting.

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten on the wall of the boating lake.

Misty and Bobbles in the bath looking up and giving me a look of "what do you mean you need to use the shower "

End of term! A very tired gentle 10km run then a mile walk, actually still felt half asleep. The kittens wanted to join me in the shower white bath.. black cats... all the fluff. #running2keepthecrazyaway #RunuptoChristmas #running #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #morningmiles #fridayfeels #blackcats

Very nearly didnt get up this morning, glad i dragged myself out. Very gentle mist morning, 7km run, then an extra mile walk to get to 10,000 steps. On with the day. Hump day. #running2keepthecrazyaway #RunuptoChristmas ##running #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #Christmas

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten at a different spot in the park. Its meant to be a water feature but in 25 years of it being there I can count on one hand the amount of times it has ever been turned on. Its a shame because the kids love it when it is.

Silly selfie, high vis vest, head torch as it was proper dark in the park. Doing a V for victory sign and sticking my tongue out.

Yoga/pilayes by light of Christmas tree. You can see sofa, swing and window in background as well as lights on television shelves where the advent buckets hang.

Garmin screenshot of today's activities. Run 10.15km, walk 3.29km and 21 mins yoga.

A tired 10km, a walk & then some yoga/pilates whilst shivvying kids. Sometimes running is a head battle but it reminds us we can do hard things. #running2keepthecrazyaway #RunuptoChristmas #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #eatonpark #morningmiles #stillgoing

Morning self at the park. Under the bandstand, missing my run buddy who is injured. I have on high vis vest and head torch. My bobble has come out so my plaits is coming undone.

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten on the bandstand at Eaton park. Its dark but the rotunda is lit up.

The bandstand and rotunda around. Eaton park.

Garmin screenshot of morning activities, 8.5km run, 1.8km walk and 22 mins of yoga. That will do.

Eaton park. The view feom the bridge, over the pond towards the bandstand. Its still dark, the bandstand is lit up and the light reflects on the water. Its still and peaceful.

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten waiting on the button pressing of a pedestrian crossing. Streetlights and car lights blur in the background.

Selfie at the end of my run. I am wearing my run up to Christmas t shirt, a high viz vest and have a head torch on. The pavement is covered in leaves.

5 gentle miles then a walk home & some yoga before getting on with the day. Happy hump day. #runninguptochristmas #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #morningmiles #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #eatonpark

Garmin stats from my run with a Christmas tree sticker added. 14.5km or 9 miles. Just under 6 min a km average pace.

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten stood on a street sign at the end of my run. Its starting to get light, street lights on. Road to the right and bush and trees to the lleft.

A tree with no leaves but sone big Christmas baubles, the closest one is red, another is silver. The sky is dusky morning blue behind and the house is dark with a light on in one window.

Screenshot of my playlist... the best Christmas album in the world...

Starting the week the right way. 9 easy miles to continue with the RunuptoChristmas. Even listened to Christmas tunes as I ran. #runuptochristmas #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #morningmiles #keepgoing

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten sat on a wall covered in ivy, there is a tree in the background and sun rising.

Run up to Christmas day 7 done. 28 miles so far. Then on to run director duties. Followed by TEAMS meetings & admin whilst also parenting, joy! Going to get myself out for a walk before then getting on with dinner. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #keepgoing

My parkrin finish token and legorunbuddy in the palm of my hand at the end of parkun, you can see my volunteer wristband too.

Had to do a selfie with friends at the welcome sign as it was first time for us all running this course. I made my friend wear a tutu in honour of her 97th different parkrun location, she is trying to get to 100 different parkruns. I have only done 6? But it has inspired me to try and get to a few more Norfolk ones at least.

A bit of parkrun tourism today with a friend. New years resolution of at least one parkrun a month complete in 2025 complete. Parkrun 120 run, almost at 250 volunteer credits so not a bad ratio there. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #parkrun #running

The view from top of the steps over the pond at Eaton park, looking to the left. Lights reflecting on the water. Dark morning sky, its very still.

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten at the top of the steps by the pond with the bandstand behind. The bandstand is lit against the dark sky.

Half a selfie, looking down at my feet. In black shorts with neon stars and purple brooks though they are filthy. You can just make out a bit of my shadow.

Our dining room table with presents ready for birthday girl the Elves are there too. There is a happy birthday banner behind the table and fairy lights are on.

Chilly 5 miles. Still shorts weather but icy enough to make me nervous. Home to wake the birthday girl. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #eatonpark #tired #keepgoing #birthday

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten on a garden wall, behind is a bare tree with no leaves but some lovely big Christmas baubles.

Closer photo of the baubles on the tree. Two are ckear with gold stars inside and one is red.

Morning 5km.... run uo to Christmas day 4. Will probably run this evening with a friend so kept it nice and easy. Finish at a cool bauble tree. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #morningmiles #RunuptoChristmas #keepgoing

A view up the road, on the right a bush covered in pretty lights.

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten on a garden wall. Behind there are lights wrapped around a tree and lights on fence behind that. The garden wall has moss growing.

Legorunbuddy on another garden wall, with a bush to the left and stretching out behind. It is covered in Christmas lights.

Misty kitten curled up in the dining room table. She is half on the advent jigsaw. Days 1-3 have been made but the jigsaw is now on a microfiber cloth as she spilt water on it. She is looking up at the camera as if to say "what"

5 miles easy tired running this evening. Enjoying the much needed joy of Christmas lights. Misty kitten wondering what all the fuss is about after she spilt water on the advent jigsaw. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #Christmas #blackcats #keepgoing

View from the Broadwalk over the marshes the sun is beginning to set there is a dog walker in the distance.

The hill on Marston lane. A bit slippy with all the leaves. Sort of enjoyed sprinting up.... I did beat a cyclist.. the path is muddy, trees either side and a car park go the right.

A wall post painted as a snowman. This house near me does this every year, they have 4 of these wall post with round bits on top painted white and in December they paint snowperson faces and put scarves on them. Its brilliant. They also have an amazing yellow front door.

Legorunbuddy between my thumb and forefinger cows behind slightly blurry on the marshes

10km including a km of hill repeats... sort of fun... it was beautiful at marshes at least. But running past a high school at school kick out time was not my best plan. Anyway RunuptoChristmas day 2 done. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #hillrepeats #keepgoing

Garmin map stats of my run this evening r miles at 5:40min per km pace. There were also 45mph winds.. which were not my friend!

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten on a garden wall. Behind them Christmas lights on the house and in the garden.

Looking in feom outside our living room window. New Christmas lights, 5 big stars and 6 rows of hanging little stars all lit up in primary colours.

The advent jigsaw, day one built. A slightly creepy looking cat in a basket. Its on our dining room table. The jigsaw box and a bowl of Christmas chocolate behind.

Better late than not at all. Steady 4 miles to look off Run up to Christmas... I have said it online so I have to do it now & tbh I need a bit of extra motivation at the moment. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #Christmaslights #runuptoChristmas #running #keepgoing

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten in front of a bridge at UEA broad. Its grey and wet.

Silly selfie with running friend in front of UEA broad.

Running friend posing with the mirage 1 and mirage 2 the sculptures by the broad. I think they look like ostriches without heads or brains on legs... anyway they are cool. The broad behind and friend stood in between them.

Strave running stats the year to today. 1610.2km so just over 1000 miles. Happy with that. Spot where i have had injuries/annoying asthma/been ill.

10km in the drizzle, a chatty, moany run, rather last minute but much needed. And I have hit 1000 running miles for the year. ##running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #1000miles #runwithfriends #runningintherain #uea #keepgoing

Garmin screenshot of early morning activity.

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten at the end of my run in a little free library. They are stood on shelf, books behind.

From about 7:30am the morning turned into a sh*tshow BUT before then it was all good, a run, a walk AND a strength workout...so let's focus on the wins 😂 also I have less than 10km to run to reach 1000 miles for the year. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #morningmiles

View of the bandstand from the playpark side of Eatonpark. This is the finish funnel for Eaton junior parkrun. We are so lucky to have this.

Same view with legorunbuddy and legorunkitten. They are on the path and in background is bandstand and rotunda its all lit up against the early morning ink blue sky.

5.5 miles as thats all I had time for. That run was horrible, a real life feels hard, running feels hard run or maybe not hard but just bleurgh. Anyway still glad I got out. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #morningmiles #keepgoing #getitdone

The view from bandstand over the pond towards the bridge at Eaton park. Its grey, its raining. The park is still always soothing though.

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten with the pond at Eaton park behind.

When the boiler breaks again less than 24hrs after it was fixed the choices are cry or go for a run. So 5.5 run miles in the rain it was. Gently as still recovering from the 🤮🤢 on thursday. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #keepgoing

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten on the railings at the crossing. Its wet the light is green for cars so I took a photo whilst I waited to cross

Grey grey grey.. Eaton park view from the bridge over the pond, towards bandstand. Its grey but the roof of the rotunda? Is blue and there are lights on.

A wet and grey cant be bothered 10km for hump day. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #morningmiles #humpday #keepgoing

Post swim selfie with my friend. She is taking photos i am in background celebrating our swim. In background there is my camping chair with dry robe and swim gear and a grey bath mat I use for changing on.

Legorunbuddy at sloughbottom parkeun. To the right the building, outside where thet do the briefing to left you can see park and start of the course. Its grey and miserable.

Do the things... parkrun and then a swim in the river in the rain. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #parkrun #wildswim #refillingmycup #keepgoing

Selfie in the rain at the end of my run. I am wet, everything is wet.

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten on the wall of the boating lake at Eaton park. Its dark you cant see much.

5 miles..very wet. I think we call that character building 🤣 my clothes are drip drying in the porch, at least I dont need a shower... #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #runningintherain #keepgoing

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten in the dark, in a gap in a wall feature.

Selfie at the end of my run in the rain. I forgot my high vis vest, but had my head torch. Still in shorts and t shirt as despite being November and raining its bizarrely mild.

Misty a black kitten sat on the worktop looking at the camera. Behind rainbow fairy disco ball lights and fairy lights with sunflowers. You can see stuff on the worktop and kitchen sink. The walls are yellow, the cupboards gloss white.

Garmin screenshot of 5km run.

5km in the rain, far later than planned, actually ended up being an accidental progressive run. A picture of Misty just because.. cooked dinner by fairy lights tonight, little things to bring joy. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #leepgoing #blackcats #kittensofbluesky

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten stood on the button pressing at a pedestrian crossing. Its wet and dark and you can see car headlights on the road behind.

Selfie at the end of my run, getting lighter. I am wearing a head torch and high vis vest. My hair is pulled back in a messy bun and is pink, purple, blue, and i have orange bone conducting headphones on.

Gentle running with still grumpy lungs. But I so needed that. 10,000 steps done by 6:45am is always good too. On with the week. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #morningmiles #keepgoing

Garmin screenshot of my run 8km.

Selfie at the end of my run. Its dark i am wearing a black running vest and a headtorch. I am holding legorunbuddy in thumb and forefinger out towards the camera.

Small in a cream fluffy jacket and purple shorts. He has the hood up and you can just see his grin as he crouches down to stroke a cat in the street.

Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten balanced on a street sign. Its dark but they are illuminated by my head torch.

Better late than not at all. Progressive 8km with slightly niggly lungs. Peak flow is quite low so suprised at how ok the pace felt tbh. A wander with small earlier for a bit of daily joy. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #keepgoing #eveningrun #smallchildlife
